IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

BODY WORLDS 3 • is open to visitors of all ages; however, OMSI recom-mends it for children ages 10+ . OMSI asks children under 12 be ac-companied by an adult. Te specimens come from voluntary •

body donors who agreed that, upon their deaths, their bodies could be used for public display in a BODY WORLDS exhibition. All specimens are preserved by a pro- •

cess called Plastination, invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Te plas-tinates are odorless and completely dry, and each is accompanied by a de-scription in English. Te exhibition is wheelchair acces- • sible. Photography and videotaping are •

strictly prohibited in the exhibit.

main, and there are several areas that explore reproduction. A separate section of the exhibition •

highlights prenatal development and includes embryos and fetuses.

VISITING BODY WORLDS 3 WITH A CHILD:

Relate elements of the exhibition to •

experiences in your child’s life: “Did you know you use so many muscles when you play soccer?” Answer your child’s questions hon- •

estly. It’s okay not to know all the an-swers. Please ask staf and, when you get home, visit www.OMSI.edu for additional information. Be sensitive to your own and your •

children’s reactions. People come away from this exhibition with many diferent interpretations.
